In 1995 an event was born with an
ideal of a reasonably priced party with a bunch of great local dj's and a vibe
only created by up for it party people. That event was Utopia, and on a cold
night in July of '95 the first Utopia was held. Over the course of the next few
years, the Utopia event grew in size and morfed from an underground party to a
legally promoted event in advertised venues. The step up to these larger legal
warehouse in Homebush brought with it giant crowds, often doubling the amount of
patrons from the previous event. From Utopia 7 to 10 the attendances doubled
each time going from 1800 to 3200 then to 6000 and finally a staggering 10,000
people at Utopia 10 at Wonderland.
Now in 2005 Utopia is known as the leading all night dance party in Sydney, and
is one of the biggest events of it's type in Australia. It's been running 10
years, and that in itself is an outstanding achievement.
It's a milestone that no other Sydney all night party has reached, 10 years of
supplying aboslute killer parties, absolutely brilliant International,
Interstate and Local talent, and absolutely phenomenal productions.
If you thought you'd seen some pretty outraegous Utopia parties over the years,
just wait to see what we have instore for our 10th Birthday. To say you will be
blown away is an understatement. You will in fact be in awe as you enter the
giant main Dome arena, and you will be speechless as a cresendo of the best and
most vibrant techology and music engulf you. This will be easily one of the most
spectacular and moving events of it's kind in Australia. A perfect sympony of
the ultimate in party technology, lasers so bright and colourful, lighting
twirling and spinning and creating rainbows around you, bass oozing through the
floor and up your spine.
Prepare for a Birthday celebration only Powerhouse can dream of and create, you
are about to enter what will be truly be Utopia . . Our 10th Birthday.

VENUE SPECIFICATIONS
Over the past few years The Sydney Showground has become synonymous with massive
all night Dance Parties, including Utopia, Godspeed, Two Tribes plus the massive
Big Day Out. For Utopia 10th Birthday we are utilising the same massive arena
that is used for the Boiler Room at each years BDO. The monstrous circular arena
comprises a ceiling height of some 20 odd meters, an internal diameter of 89.7m
and a floor size of 7200sqm. What this all means is our main arena alone can
comfortably hold over 10,000 party people, and that's without including the
other arenas or the outdoor areas. To say this is a giant party venue would be
an understatement.
So what can we do with such a large main arena, well its our 10th Birthday so
you've gotta be thinking we're going to pull out all the stops to bring together
the absolute best production, the biggest lasers, the loudest sound and the most
colour lights. We are once again bringing in the creative team from BLM
Productions who will be installing and operating enough equipment to fill a
couple of semi trailers. Just imagine a giant
circular stadium filled to overflowing with giant multi head full colour laser
systems, slamming through the venue with beams and sheets of laser light.
Powerful moving heads of light disperse the wildest rainbow of colours
throughout the pulsating crowd, while goliath size speaker stacks rumble and
vibrate and send shivers down your spine.
This is our 10th Birthday, and we're bringing you our party in one of
Australia's largest entertainment venues. Prepare for blast off as Utopia 10th
Birthday explodes on the Anzac Weekend.
PRODUCTION
Lighting, lasers, visuals & sound
Over the course of the past 10 years, companies around the world have been
creating newer and better entertainment equipment, products like 360 degree
rotating intelligent, computer controlled lights, high powered, multi mirror
laser systems, and sound cabinets, speaker boxes and bass cones that ever expand
the clarity and sheer volume of the sound they output. With each new invention
or technical advancement,Powerhouse Productions and our key suppliers follow
these improvements with a keen eye. We continually update our equipment hire
list to include these new gadgets, in order to bring our patrons the very best
on offer. We source equipment from around the World and we take on ideas and
solutions from all the wildest parties in most major countries. This is a long
way of saying we offer the absolute best production for our patrons. If you
think you've seen it all before, well think again.
At Utopia 10th Birthday you can expect to see fresh new lights flown in from
distant Countries, amazing new high powered laser systems and sound systems that
would make the World's biggest dance parites green with envy.
Together with all this amazing technology, we add that extra touch, absolutely
mind boggling visual display screens surrounding the main performer console.
These screens bring the main stage to life with footage of the performers, up
close and personal, plus what we believe is the best footage of all, footage of
the crowd going nuts - live and direct on the giant screens.
